Hello.
It's 1,399 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
And we want to say thank you
because we have been overwhelmed by all the messages you have been sending us in the last seven days or so.
And, well, what can I say?
I'm genuinely humbled.
I'm going to read some names of you who've written in because we appreciate it so much.
But let me read this one from Guy Woodland, who's in Norfolk, here in the UK.
This is just an extract from his email.
I've been a regular listener to the podcast since it began.
The reporting is exceptional and the educational value incalculable.
The podcast still has an important role to play.
I'd like to thank the whole team for all their hard work over nearly four years.
Your professionalism and humanity are an example to all broadcasters wishing you all the best for the future and a merry Christmas.
Guy, thank you so much for that.
There's Andy in Shropshire and Daniel Ross and Paul Anderson in Queensland on the Gold Coast,
Nick in Flanders, Mary Cracknell, Christine, Tim Kelly in Gateshead.
So many of you contacted us and we are really grateful and it really moves us as well.
David and Edinburgh, Keith in County Down, I could go on and on and on.
